Good little BYOD device

9 January 2019

I read a lot of the reviews before buying this computer for my daughter and thought they were very unfair, for the price, this laptop is great value. Sure it's not as fast as it could be, but it's also a low price laptop, and it's not built for performance. If I was looking for a computer to run intensive graphics programs, I wouldn't buy it. But given it's for web browsing and doing homework, it has all the grunt and speed you need.

People need to realise this is a Corolla, and not a Rolls Royce. It's a good value low end laptop.... and it's priced accordingly!I read a lot of the reviews before buying this computer for my daughter and thought they were very unfair, for the price, this laptop is great value.

Don't let the high ram and other specs fool you when looking at this laptop. Has an extremely budget processor which gives less functionality than my previous $250 laptop from The Warehouse. Can't do basic tasks without excessive lag definitely would recommend looking elsewhere.Don't let the high ram and other specs fool you when looking at this laptop.

Low performer

17 December 2018

This has been a very poor performing laptop. I have had issues all along and will need to bring it back. Worst was that on the advice of your salesman I bought Norton and tried to load it, However it was already installed with McAffee the computer tried to remove . This caused a freeze and I could not reaccess, requiring a complete reset under instruction fro HP help. Not good enough! I still have login issues and have been unable to transfer some files from the computer to the external hard drive.This has been a very poor performing laptop.

Avoid this entry level laptop

17 November 2018

Got home and couldn't get good wifi in our home office (although 5 year-old laptop still does), ran very slowly and then when the windows update started could not do much with it at all. The battery overheated on us so we took it back within a week, only to be told it is such a slow processor and maybe we need to spend more. If it's such a poor laptop, why sell it at all? Avoid this laptop people! FYI, we almost never post negative reviews but don't want to see you waste your money and get disappointed. Very glad we got our refund without too much fuss though.Got home and couldn't get good wifi in our home office (although 5 year-old laptop still does), ran very slowly and then when the windows update started could not do much with it at all.

Too slow

10 November 2018

I had problems with this computer from the beginning, it kept freezing while i was streaming a tv programme. Then frooze completely when i had to download a windows update. The HP help desk were very good though and tried to reboot it but it would no longer accept my password and gave me a refund. This was all in the first week after buying it.I had problems with this computer from the beginning, it kept freezing while i was streaming a tv programme.

gets the job done

We wanted a laptop with above average specs and a DVD option. This machine offers those but has no side number pad and no touchscreen. Is a bit slower running background processes than we expected. We purchased it to just run power points and stream online videos in meetings, and it does the job.We wanted a laptop with above average specs and a DVD option.

Good value laptop

1 July 2018

Been using one week. Laptop was good value for the performance. Large storage capacity and RAM. Been using it for memory intensive graphics applications and performance has been fine. Takes a little longer to load some files than the computer I use for work, on the same graphics package, but once the file is open, the performance is fine.Been using one week.

Decent Basic Computer

18 June 2018

Got this on sale or an ok price but not the best deal. My old laptop died so I didn't have much wiggle room to wait to make a purchase. I like the size -easy to carry in a small backpack. It has more storage space than I will likely ever need but I prefer not to run out. Speed seems decent for basic tasks, internet surfing, etc...

Overall happy with this laptop.Got this on sale or an ok price but not the best deal. My old laptop died so I didn't have much wiggle room to wait to make a purchase.
